Serial No. 741,088.

To (all IF/107M it may concern Be it known that I, Rose YEUANIAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Yonkers, in the county of l vestchester and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Garment, or which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to garments and more particularly to shirts for use by small children, one of the objects of the invention being to provide a shirt having separate means whereby the stockings and diaper can be separately supported so that either can be. removed without disturbing the other.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds. the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter de scribed and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embmliment of the invention herein disclosed, can be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the in vention.

in the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the intention has been shown.

in said drawings :--Figure 1 is a front perspective view of the garment and showing the supported parts connected thereto. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation.

Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 designates a shirt of the usual form the same being provided with shoulder straps 2 each of which has an interposed central piece 3, there being transverse stiffening tap-es at the ends of said piece, as at- 4t, to prevent the straps from rolling up and causing discomfort to the wearer.

Pairs of incisions 5 are formed longitudinally in the waist portion of the shirt and form straps (3 therebetween adapted to engage an elastic belt 7. Supporting straps 8 are provided with loops 9 through which the belt extends and the lower ends of these straps 8 have safety pins 10 or other fasteners for engaging and holding a diaper l1 or other garment.

Loops 12 of tape or the like are attached to the shirt below the belt 7 and receive another elastic belt 13 engaged by the upper looped ends 14 of supports 15.

These supports have safety pins 16 or the like for engaging and holding stockings 17. 'lhus it will be seen that the diaper and stockings can each be removed without affecting the other. l nrthermore, by con necting the supports 8 and 15 to ditlerent parts of the shirt, the weight thereof is more evenly distributed and less discomfort is caused.

While the improvements are particularly designed to he used as stated, it is to be understood that they can be applied to underwaists and can be employed for holding garments other than those herein mentioned.

\Vhat is claimed is:-

.1. A body garment having incisions in the waist portion thereof forming straps, a belt outside oi. the garment and slidably engaging the straps, loops extending from the garment and below the belt, a belt outside of the garment and supported by the loops, and supporters slidably mounted upon the respective belts.

A body garment having incisions in the waist portions thereof forming straps, an elastic belt outside of the garn'lent and slidable within the incisions and retained by the straps, loops extending from the outer side of the garment and below the belt, an elastic belt slidably mounted in the loops and disposed outside of the garment, and suppm'ters carried by the respective belts and slidable thereon.

3. A body garment having incisions in the waist portions thereof :lorming straps, an elastic belt outside oi the garment and slidable within the incisions and retained by the straps, loops extendin from the outer side of the garment and below the belt, an elastic belt slidably mounted in the loops and disposed outside oil the garment, and supporters carried by and slidable longitaidinally of the respective belts, each sup]')orte1' including a strap and a garment engaging fastener.
